Most recently, Jaeger has been CEO at C. Mondavi & Family and also served as chairman at Clos de Val Winery.
Bruce Cakebread will remain on the winery’s board of directors, along with his brother, Dennis Cakebread, who will continue as Chairman of the Board. Dennis, who has long overseen sales and marketing efforts at the Rutherford, CA winery will also relinquish his leadership of these roles to his talented team.
Bruce and Dennis, as owners, will now focus their efforts on Board oversight, being ambassadors for Cakebread Cellars and helping Mr. Jaeger’s transition into his role at the winery.
Cakebread Cellars was founded in 1973 by Jack and Dolores Cakebread, whose sons, Bruce and Dennis, own the winery today. Over its 45 years, the winery has earned a reputation for exceptional wines and gracious hospitality. Its success is built on quality, consistency and continuity – not only in grape-growing and winemaking, but in the dedicated people who create Cakebread Cellars’ world-class wines.
